Silly mid-on something

I know next to nothing about cricket, so I suppose I shouldn't expect to appreciate the nuances of this report (I don't even know how I came to be reading it).

However, the combination of arcane specifics with comically flowery prose is simply... bizarre. Take the metaphors at face-value and this could be a drug-induced stream of consciousness. Reading between the lines ('cos the lines themselves don't make much sense), I think this was a boring match, so maybe the despairing journalist did turn to artificial diversions.
